Ingredients

  • 2 cans 10 oz each Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 1 block 16 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup fresh corn (optional)
  • 1 jalapeño finely chopped (optional for extra heat)
  • 0 serving Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, add the drained Rotel tomatoes and cubed cream cheese. Stir frequently until the cream cheese is melted and well combined with the tomatoes.
  2. Once the mixture is smooth, add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted completely and the dip is creamy.
  3. Incorporate the cooked ground beef and taco seasoning into the cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
  4. If using, fold in the fresh corn and chopped jalapeño for added texture and heat.
  5. Allow the dip to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding salt or more taco seasoning if desired.
  6. Once hot and bubbly, remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl.

💡 Chef's Notes
